"What we did on our summer vacation" by the Peña Clan from Tiffany Burnett on Vimeo.

ahhhh, little compton.

what else would you do during a vacation week there?!

obsessed.

glass, glee and girlfriends

last week
i met one of my very best friends, amanda
for a girl's day in boston...

our first stop was the MFA
for the Chihuly exhibit

my fave: the persian ceiling

i was literally blown away-
(no pun intended, i promise)
the detail, scale and symmetry
left me with a whole new appreciation for the art of glass blowing.



these enormous chandeliers
designed to hang at eye level
have my wheels turning for a piece in my dining room...


glass "baskets"
shown with the native american pieces that were the inspiration

...
we left the MFA, hoped the train to newbury
and thanks to a quick facebook shout-out for recommendations
grabbed lunch at parish cafe
YUM.

afterwards we (mostly) window shopped
until
meeting up with a like-minded blogger, blair
for mac and cheese, street-side

slightly obsessed with the up-cycling here of tomato can to wine bucket

and i just have to get in a word about how amazing this whole "blogging world" thing is...
being able to share our lives, inspirations and obsessions with a virtual set of "friends"
is even cooler when you meet those people in real life
and fall into conversations as easy as with your nearest and dearest
pretty. awesome.

(girls, let's please set a date for more...)
...
high-on-life after dinner
we reverted back to our dorky high-school selves
and belted our hearts out
at
glee: live!

no, we had no shame asking the 12-year-old behind us to snap our photo

kurt singing single ladies
the warblers- he-ll-OH! version of teenage dream...

AH-mazing.

and then
i needed a week to recover.

hello,
i'm back.

good day, sunshine

this past weekend

really did feel like spring

starting

with the opening of local ice cream shops

my summer pick- perfectly tart pinkberry-esque yogurt with fresh berries

...

and fresh tunes

on the ipod

for the file stretch of my run

born this way

Ahhh- MAZING cover of lady gaga's latest...

love this little anthem for today's youth!

love.

everything about this...

hair love

willow smith's first video dropped yesterday to HUGE media buzz...

yes, she is fierce. agreed.

but she is also only NINE years old.

too much?

i'm thinkin'...

coincidentally (or not) sesame street aired this yesterday...

adorable. thank. you.

music. live.

pretty out-of-charater (normally more of the jazz type...)

and completely unplanned...

reid and i are headed to see KiD CuDi tonight

(oh, the joys of living near big universities!)

loving the gaga in this!

so excited...

music love

i am loving adele's version of bob dylan's classic...

perfectly moody for fall.

Happy 100!

even with being a horrible blogger this summer, i've managed to hit 100...wooohooo!

i thought a appropriate, ironic and timely way to celebrate this milestone would be with marketa & glen, with whom i first started this space.

i am so excited for their new album, and really can't get over how adorable and inspiring they are!

resolutions for the next hundred posts? 

to do it in half the time! 

here's to more consistent blogging!

smile.

this makes today suddenly less grey.

from all that jazz
